In fact this has been known for a long time: tests have been performed on creatures thought to have been drained of blood by the Chupacabras and most of the blood turned out to be still in the bodiesbut in an unrecognizable state. Is Ben Radford still pushing that book of his? I took him up on his challenge as soon as he published and proved he was wrong and confronted him with the fact several times since then. He has yet to acknowledge that I had proven his assertions to be wrong, but in fact I posted duplicate copies of the message in various places around the internet to confirm the fact I was telling him so at the time. The term "Goat Sucker" is confirmed from publications earlier than 2000 to have been used as early as the 1920s to certain large lizards which were supposed to drink the milk of goats in a version of the milk snake myth, and folklore being what it is, eventually some local vampire legends (such as are in Puerto Rico)got grafted on to the tradition. And some of the native names for lizard-like cryptids DO sound something like "Chupas"
